Operator-grade use case
The upgrade from standard templates to documents that match a real ownership structure. Every OffshoreGuy formation ships standard-template Articles and an Operating Agreement; this replaces them with a bespoke set drafted to your specifics. Reach for it when you have co-founders, an investor, an option pool, or a manager-managed structure that a one-size template does not capture.
Most appropriate for: multi-member LLCs splitting ownership unevenly, founders who want vesting and transfer restrictions written in from day one, and anyone whose bank or counterparty will read the Operating Agreement and expect it to reflect the actual cap table. It pairs with the Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and UK formations.
Less ideal for: a single-member LLC with a clean, standard structure, where the included template is already sufficient and the upgrade adds little. If you are not sure you need it, start with the base formation and add this later.

Common questions
- How is this different from the documents in my formation?
- Every OffshoreGuy formation already ships standard-template Articles and an Operating Agreement, which is enough for a single-member LLC with a clean structure. This add-on replaces those with a bespoke set drafted to your specifics: uneven ownership splits, manager-managed governance, vesting, and transfer restrictions.
- Do I need it?
- Add it if you have co-founders, an investor, an option pool, or a manager-managed structure that a one-size template does not capture, or if a bank or counterparty will read the Operating Agreement and expect it to match your cap table. If you are a solo member with a standard setup, the included templates are sufficient and you can skip it.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. We draft to the current jurisdictional statute and give you one revision round against your comments, but we are not your attorney and this is not a legal opinion. For contested or high-stakes structures, have your own counsel review the documents.
